Microtech Ultratech T/E Signature OTF Knife Carbon Fiber/Black Aluminum, Satin M390 by Tony Marfione (123-4CFS)

Ultratech T/E Signature Carbon Fiber/Black Aluminum, Satin is a full-size Ultratech OTF (Out The Front) automatic knife from the Signature series. The model is distinguished by a unique design where on one side we have light and impressive Carbon Fiber, and on the other durable aluminum. Working in D/A (Double Action) mode, it allows the blade to be quickly extended and retracted with the flick of a thumb, making it an extremely practical tool in situations requiring a quick response. Designed by Tony Marfione, owner of Microtech Knives.

Ultratech OTF Line - Microtech's flagship OTF line that set the standard for all Out The Front knives. Proprietary Ultratech trigger design that stays in a “resting” position at all times except when activated. This means that the spring does not fatigue, reducing wear and tear on the internal release mechanisms, ensuring that the knife will always work effectively. Its light weight, one-handed opening and closing, slim handle and sharp blade make this a one-of-a-kind knife, available only from Microtech.

Signature Series - Microtech's elite product line designed for buyers who are looking for more exclusive accents in relation to the beloved production models from the Core series (logo with claws on the knife). The production of Signature Series knives often uses the highest quality materials and finishes. The line also includes themed knives such as Bounty Hunter, Outbreak, Memento Mori and Molon Labe. A distinctive feature is the dagger logo on the handle and Anthony Marfione's signature on the clip.

M390 Microclean® - Martensitic high-performance chromium steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the alloy concept, it is characterized by extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Thanks to its high wear resistance, it retains the shape of the edge properly, so that the blade remains sharp for a very long time (requires minimal maintenance). Another advantage is the resistance to “wire” formation during sharpening. Steel with a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) with an admixture of 1.9% carbon (C), 4.0% vanadium (V), hardened to 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steel by Carpenter. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Blade - machine-ground T/E (Tanto Edge), sharpened on one side, with a long line of grooves on both sides of the blade. Finished with an elegant satin finish. The blade has a high flat grind, which ensures excellent cutting properties. This gives the knife excellent piercing properties while maintaining high durability. The strong blade extension / retraction mechanism with a knurled thumb slide requires a certain amount of force to overcome the spring resistance for safety reasons. The opening method ensures trouble-free opening for both right- and left-handed people.

Handle– the display side is made of high-quality Carbon Fiber composite with CNC milling in 3D technology. The other side is made of aluminum 6061-T6. The texture of the handle ensures that the knife does not slip in the hand during use. There are jimping grooves on the top and bottom of the handle for a more secure grip. The slim profile and milled two-position (right/left) solid deep carry clip allow the knife to be carried discreetly in the pocket in a tip-down position. The clip features the Microtech logo, serial number and date of manufacture. The handle ends in a window-pane hammer, a solid steel triangle with a pressed-in tungsten carbide ball. There is also a hole for attaching a decorative cord.
